One of my favorite products at the moment is Earthbound Farms Deep Green Blends – Kale. I love the mix of tender baby kale leaves. Unlike regular kale you don’t have to spend time removing the stems and chopping up the leaves into manageable sized pieces. Just open the package and add the delicious leaves to your favorite salad or dish. Miso dressings are one of favorite types of dressing and in this recipe I’ve mixed together a sweet miso flavored dressing to pair with the noodles and other veggies. It’s packed with nutrients and will keep you full and satisfied all day!
